Setting Up Self-Hosted Mattermost for Small Team Collaboration

Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone… :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I am currently in the process of setting up a self-hosted instance of Mattermost for a small team of around 15 people. We’re looking to use it as our primary communication tool, but I want to make sure I configure everything optimally from the start.

Does anyone have any recommendations or best practices for setting up Mattermost in a small team environment? Specifically, I’d love advice on:

  • Optimizing performance on a smaller server
  • Useful plugins or integrations that you’ve found helpful for team productivity
  • Any common pitfalls to avoid during the initial setup

I also check this: https://forum.mattermost.com/t/unified-mattermost-changelog-for-self-hosted-and-cloud-deploymentqliksense But I have not found any solution. Could anyone guide me about this? I am using the latest version of Mattermost on Ubuntu and plan to integrate it with GitLab, so tips related to that integration would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Respected community member! :blush:
